First I modeled an adaptor for the right forearm to attach the Kotobukiya Giant Manipulator

This fits in place of the Gustav Karl's normal forearm armor and friction fits into the Gigantic Manipulator. It needs some small details and the long edges need to be chamfered more to get it to match the left arm.

But then I started working on a Gunpla sized Storm Bolter

I was very dissatisfied with the original pose/base design so I went back to the drawing board (Fusion) and worked on something different.

This design was quite a bit simpler than the original concept, but it allowed for a more neutral pose. While I was able to get the legs more or less how I wanted in the earlier design, the arms just did not want to cooperate.

And while working on that I realised that none of the various bits of scenery I had been auditioning for the base really fit the aesthetic of the model, so I wipe this up. I am quite pleased with the with figuring out how to do the carved text, even if a few bits didn't quite print.

I was working on some scenery for my next projects base (A Wraithknight proxy) and wanted some vaguely Eldar scenery, I found the following that looked promising.

Their stuff seemed nice enough but once I got in into the slicer is was kind of "soft" but I wanted some sharper edges so I've spend the day remodeling it from first principles.

Added some tweaks here and there, changed a few details, but considering most of my 3D modeling so far has been almost entirely "ugly but functional" I'm pretty happy with it.
